There is an old saying (of Hebrew origin, I think) to the effect that: “things need to get much worse before they can get better”. The electoral college selection of “the Donald” as President Of The United States is perhaps the clearest proof of how appropriate that adage is to the present time. It is difficult to imagine how the next four years could be any worse for America than what the Trump agenda portends, but it certainly does not promise to be any better.
